CPR Flashlight, how does it work?
I saw this article on Engadget about the XFT CPR Flashlight that actually talks you through delivering CPR to someone and thought it was quite an interesting product, and a couple of days later we actually receive one in the office direct from the manufacturer.
As you can see in the photos it’s quite a simple looking product, LED torch at one end, a few buttons for turning the torch on and the CPR instruction, and a speaker on the end so you can hear the delivered instructions.
How does it actually work? Well first of all you can use the LED flashlight by simply press the green ‘LIGHT’ button, which is the first button in the array. To access the CPR instructions you use the ‘ON / OFF’ button, from there you are prompted to select the patient’s age, your choices are ‘ADULT’, ‘BABY’ or ‘CHILD’, via the A, B, and C buttons. Once you have done that you are then prompted to call your local emergency service number, 911 in the US version or 000 in Australian version. After the emergency call command you are then talked through checking the patient for signs of life, then we get into the CPR.
Rather than type out all the CPR commands, which would also make for boring reading, I’ve captured this short video of the whole process.
So as you can see this is potentially a lifesaving device for around the home, in your car, in your laptop bag, etc. So what’s it worth? Well the Australian version will sell for around $29.95 I believe, considering this has the potential to save the life of a loved one then I think it’s very affordable.
